- Comment on The $20 USD bill is the new 5$ bill 1 week ago:
So they were off by a factor of 2.35 (47 years is 2.35x 20 years)
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 1 week ago:
I have mine set like this. Clear bass can be adjusted further down, just depends. 400Hz is the boomy, buttery part of the range so if there’s too much boxy-ness you can turn that down judiciously. Keep in mind most musical pitch lives there too, though.

Cat litter can work wonders here
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 1 week ago:
Makes sense, inflation and tariffs
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 1 week ago:
Maybe it’s just because I’m an audio engineer so I was able to EQ them to my taste, but I love my WH-1000XM4 cans. But yeah, their studio cans are both top tier and dirt cheap. MDR-7506, they’re like $80 and generally sound like a million bucks because they’re used in basically every single recording studio as reference headphones.
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 1 week ago:
Well, their TV brand is gone. Their headphones are still the top tier of consumer stuff and price-performance king for studio headphones
- Comment on RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives 1 week ago:
communist government
Socialist government, sure, but communism describes a stateless society. “Communist government” is an oxymoron.
Yes, I am that guy. Sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Exactly, you get it
- Comment on You can count past 1,000 on your fingers by using binary, instead of just 10 2 weeks ago:
See, I don’t trust myself to keep track of which digit is 8 vs 16 vs 32, so I end up recalculating to double check my work even though I usually have it right the first time.
I’m sure if I practiced it more I’d have it down cold, but it’s just how my OCD brain works

Easy, I pin my pinky against my leg
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x01 "Kids These Days" & 1x02 "Beta Test" 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, this. Sci-fi fanbases and especially Trek/Wars fans are constantly flipping out when their sci-fi is socially progressive at all, even if it started that way.
- Comment on Media zombies would be largely harmless if they lacked teeth and claws. 4 weeks ago:
The fungal zombies seem to operate at an instinctual level, so I’d argue that yes, they are able to stay hydrated. They also seem to have some sort of hive mind going on to a degree.
- Comment on ChatGPT fried my drive!? 5 weeks ago:
Don’t trust AI to know what they’re doing for you. The only time they work reliably as a tool is when you already know what you’re doing enough to spot their errors.
AI is the wrong tool here. You need to do real internet research.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 1 month ago:
… as long as the giant corpos paying through the nose for the data centers continue to vastly underprice their products in order to make us all dependent on them.
Just wait till everyone’s using it and the prices will skyrocket.
- Comment on My PS1 died today 1 month ago:
They embedded a PS1 in the PS2, but the PS1 compatibility for the PS3 and later is emulation. Also the PS2 compatibility for most of the revisions of the PS3 is emulated too. Only a couple of the earliest models crammed a PS2 in there
- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 50] 1 month ago:
Princess Jellyfish is short but it has similar fashion themes.
- Comment on Culture no longer exists in our reality today because the actors responsible for it most of it have long been deprived of their livelihood. 1 month ago:
If you think people will pay for AI slop, you must be young or deeply cynical

The vast vast vast majority of artists create art without expectations of payment nor the ability to do it full time, yes.

- Comment on [Rec] Anime with great emotional payoff 2 months ago:
Points to profile picture
Legend of The Galactic Heroes. It’s a slow burn, but it has dozens of characters and many of them have emotionally satisfying arcs.
- Comment on We* emphasize exclusive access to objects more than we ever did. 2 months ago:
Bigger than ever in post industrial society, maybe. Pre-industrial times almost everyone shared almost everything. The ones who didn’t share were rich, and even they often would invite guests to stay for a whole season semi-regularly because of their ridiculously big houses and desire for entertainment.
- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement 2 months ago:
If it’s built as well as the deck, it should be great
- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement 2 months ago:
FSR4 only runs on RDNA 4. The Steam Machine has RDNA 3, so FSR3 is the limit
- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement 2 months ago:
1080p can look bad on a 1440p display though, since it doesn’t go evenly in and you’ll need good upscaling.
And that’s why it’s better to use 720p in the cases where you can’t do native 1440p.
- Comment on Steam Hardware Announcement 2 months ago:
There are currently 2 third party handhelds that are officially supported by SteamOS, so at least 2 manufacterers have taken them up on it so far.
- Comment on When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes? 2 months ago:
Yes
- Comment on When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes? 2 months ago:
If they keep it shut down I suspect individual states will split off as their own nations eventually.
- Comment on Logan Roy is objectively and factually a better father than Clark Kent 2 months ago:
Hey, so, I know those words sound really satisfying in that combination, but “objectively and factually” there’s so single system of morality nor metric of quality for fatherhood that anyone could judge by, so “objectively and factually”, your thesis is an opinion statement and by its very nature cannot be a fact or objective truth.
- Comment on Billionaires are extremists 2 months ago:
Well yeah, they exist at the extremes of society and push almost exclusively for their own further empowerment.
